Let’s see if collectively DiSsers know what they’re up to (have also popped this on FB and Twitter if you wanna reply there)
Hospitality
Really loved their last album and it blew my mind to realise it’s nearly a decade old
Stina Nordenstam. One public appearance since 2004 as far as I know. In 2004 she released my favourite album of all time so it’d be nice to have her back.
Actually feel bad posting this because it may be the case she just wants a quiet life.
Constantly think Andre 3000 won’t release an album of his own stuff or perform live ever again, just show up for a guest verse every 3 years then fuck off to play his flute in airports round America.
Frank Ocean.
Errors
Fuck Buttons
(less retiring and more just split into two solo acts)
obvious one, but Boards of Canada. I’d love them back for my own sake, 100%, but more for the poor guy that runs the bocpages website/ instagram - that guy is on like his 13th year of squeezing so much content out of virtually nothing.
Joanna Newsom
Pretty sure this is the case – what little info I’ve come across over the years suggests she’s opted for a quiet life of being a non-famous music teacher.
Circle Takes The Square
Nearly ten years since Decompositions “volume 1”.
There are some very very very vague suggestions that something might be on the horizon (and even vaguer suggestions that the only thing holding it up is the vinyl pressing plant delays)
yeah, i’d seen that - ironically on bocpages. fingers crossed!
in an instagram Q&A earlier in the year Stuart from Mogwai mentioned that Errors had been about to announce a reunion show or something before covid happened and stalled it. so it may happen eventually.
The Soundcarriers
3 great albums, final one in 2014 was the best. Presume they called it a day.
Don’t say this! Please leave me happily in my denial that she’s working on her next masterpiece!
(What a way to finish if it were true though. For me, that’s an actual 100% perfect body of work of artistic genius. So comfortably the greatest of her generation.)
My Vitriol.
I’m not worried, but I’m concerned about the thousands and thousands (of real people. Definitely real people) who sent positive messages to them during the Pledge campaign.
They released something on to Spotify earlier this year - wasn’t amazing, but was something
Cliff Richards
I haven’t Googled her recently but what’s Nina Nastasia up to?
